Cattle Egrets.

I thought I would put up another couple of pics of these birds as I was so lucky to see them yesterday.

 

There was an article in the local newspaper at the w/end saying these had been seen in Cumbria too Strongy.(Will look it up later)

Found it here:- http://www.cumberland-news.co.uk/news/viewarticle.aspx?id=795758

 

great photo's again strongy!

 

Gogs, they have also been seen in Dumfries!!, Somerset Devon and Cornwall, at least 50 throuout the country. They have never overwintered here in such large numbers (for a rarity. They normally go to the south of Spain ( forage on the rubbish tips!) or North Africa but they are obviously finding our mild winter to their liking, maybe they will increase and eventually breed like the Little Egret over time.

 

Ohh wonderful Strongy ,nearer to go to Carlisle
for me than Dumfries.
